That's what I thought at first, too! But as far as I am aware there are no characters like the ones shown in the picture in the game.
Got a tip for us?

The Ax they put in it will be based on what makes sense financially for them. It may make sense to put an A10 or similar if it reduces production complexity by focusing on a few CPUs, or rationalising the process node they're using across all devices for example.
I'd expect them to keep costs down by not having a laminated screen, and less RAM as default in the lower end device. The rumoured prices may also be educational prices so may not be a dramatic drop - maybe $299 for retail pricing?
They could do a simpler pencil with limited/no pressure sensitivity and no tilt for maybe $49, but keep the ipad compatible with the current pencil so people that want those features for more art applications can still buy the more expensive pencil, but for notes etc the cheaper one will be fine.
As for airpods, I don't think they'll just release a case. I think they'll refresh the full airpod product at the same price including the wireless charging case (basically just a copper loop so almost no cost to add it), and after introducing the 'new airpods that work with airpower' they'll go 'oh and if you already have airpods, you can buy the case only for $79 or whatever price'
If you bought it from an Apple Store they are very flexible about returns when something new is announced. iPhones can be an odd situation but non iPhone is generally cake. If you bought it within 2 weeks before the announcement they will generally let you exchange it for the new thing as long as that launch is within 30 days from the announcement. I’ve even called the online store for web orders and they had some way to note the return authorization
All I see is my children don’t like to write anymore. Learning from a computer screen alone is not efficient at all. Knowledge won’t stick. Maybe writing with a pencil on a touchscreen might make it more attractive.
A leading UK University recommends that she uses a Mac and so she goes out and buys a Windows machine. Not a First class decision...
Technology should be embraced in the classroom. I'm not sure if the iPad is the answer though! If Apple wants to get serious about education then they need to get a fusion of iOS & macOS together and getting it running on a iMac-like touch screen computer, similar to the Surface Studio or even a new class of MacBook. But Apple will have to make a 'cheap' version for schools otherwise schools should just carry on buying Chromebooks.
In short, Apple needs to compete on price to get a foot in the classrooms. An iPad isn't good enough.
Agree. This is exactly what I said a year ago - to be blown away at MR.
But anyway, comes time, comes sense.
I predict in another 5 years, even Phil will agree. Vision will conquer courage.
I’ll leave you to work that one out.
It shouldn’t be too difficult for a father of a first class graduate...
Really? Since when can you remove the screen from a MacBook and use it as a touchscreen device?
